FC Erzgebirge Aue have suffered another serious setback in their fight against relegation in the 3rd Football League. Jens Härtel's team lost 3-1 (1-0) at penultimate-placed TSV Havelse after conceding three late goals. Three games, three defeats, zero points: That is Auer's sobering record since the winter break.
Jonah Fabisch put the 17th-placed team in the table ahead in stoppage time of the first half at the Eilenriedestadion in Hanover (45:+1). But after the break, Marcel Bär failed to capitalize on a great chance to make it 2-0 (49'), keeping the promoted side in the game.
Havelse close to three points
Nassim Boujellab (74') and Lorenzo Paldino (81') turned the game around within seven minutes in the closing stages. Robin Müller made it all clear in stoppage time (90.+8). As a result, Havelser, who had been bottom of the table for a long time, moved to within three points of FC Erzgebirge.
Except for the final stages of the first half and the start of the second half, Auer were particularly disappointing in attack. Even after conceding two goals, they noticeably lacked the belief and drive to come back in this important game.
